At the School of Electrical Engineering, EDI work is coordinated by the ELEC EDI Group that the Dean nominates for two years at a time. The group prepares a biennial action plan that implements Aalto's EDI plan on the school level. The group members actively participate in implementation of the activities. The group works together with the Dean, School Management Team, the personnel administration and education management, communications, and other central parties.
